Preparations for another provocation using prohibited chemicals in Syria are in full swing — propaganda horns are redoubling their efforts.

The West with the hands of the militants, who have been financed by it for several years and fighting against the Syrian army, is preparing a new information attack in the province of Idlib, where the next staged play will be initiated with the use of chemical weapons, which the US and its allies need as a pretext for new air strikes.

The official spokeswoman for Russian Miinistry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova drew attention to the fact that propagandists are using children for their own purposes.

At a briefing on Thursday, Zakharova told about a Twitter account, allegedly belonging to 6-year-old girl named Hala from Idlib.

There are propaganda publications calling to stop killing children in Idlib, to stop air strikes in the child's account; it also reposts other materials from similar pages.

It is noteworthy that profile picture depicts the girl with SSA militants' symbol drawn on her face — those who are fighting against the Syrians and even been caught in close ties with Al-Qaeda *.

It is unlikely that the small girl or her parents would have taken this step. Girl's activity in social networks raises doubts as well, because according to legend she is in the war zone, and it is not possible to maintain active Twitter account.

«The page has about 350 subscribers so far but it's interesting that the BBC, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed and „Radio Svoboda” are following the account of a six-year-old girl with everyday sketches and appeals for peace. What an attention to the child — 350 subscribers, among which the world's leading media,» — Zakharova says.

She equated the situation with the one around Aleppo in 2016, noting that Western propaganda methods are by no means new. Thus, during the operation of the Syrian army to release Aleppo from terrorists, Twitter account of a girl named Bana Alabed appeared on the Web in the same way, and the contents of the publications bore the same anti-Syrian message. The story with Hala from Idlib is the same old trick.

At first glance it may seem that one fake account with a picture of a child with just over 600 followers can not cause a crisis.

But one must understand that the so-called Arab Spring which set Middle East afire and Syria in particular started with fake news spreading on the Web throughout Twitter as well. So using image of unlucky Syrian children is also not a new method, but for propaganda purposes it is still very effective.

Amidst Syrian army's successful advance to the victory over militants and liberation from the terrorist threat the «Syrian children» from Twitter will appear more and more often.
